in between phase

[FaithHopeLove]

hello thank u 4 reading i wanted 2 post here bout my current situation. i am in what i call an in between phase where i have finished 5 years of study & i am seeing where i might end up living. where i live has been stressful & i realised 2day the extent of it which is, that i had a mould infestation that started 2016 where they blamed me 4 it then they treated it but i chat with a lady 2day that said she had a mould thing & now has a disease & low immunity which made me think maybe this is same with me as ive had low immunity issue 4 a while eek with that i think will be approaching a dr. Anyway so thats that but the other thing i wanted 2 mention here is just having time 2 sit & let things settle far 2 much has been happening 4 me since 2019 which might post bout elsewhere. The wins are that i now have a dip counselling a cert mh & a 2nd dip & i volunteer at the Prayer helpline, anyway being that this thread is re staying well i will mention here that i am seeking the silver lining in my life & trying 2 reflect in thankfulness such as i have a home & food & live in a nice area. Also, i have realised with my chats here that self preservation is key we need to put self first if we r going to b of help 2 others i mentioned 2 my friends re that analogy think i heard re we need 2 put our oxygen mask on first in order 2 help others God Bless

Dear FaithHopeLove~

Congratulations on completing your studies, it shows a great deal of determination and ability. I'm sure if you go down the mental health and counceling path they will open many opportunities for you

As you already answer on a helpline you must already have found out if that path suits you, not only for the help it gives others but also satisfaction and enjoyment for yourself.

Mold is an insidious matter and very difficult ot get rid of, and as you pointed out can lead to serious illness. One of my rooms used to get it but between painting it out with  mold-resistant paint and using those bags that collect moisture (they collect a surprising amount)  the problem seems to have stopped this last couple of winters. I think from what you said your might be thinking of moving, for your health I'm sure that would be the best if the mold is coming back.

I think you are wise to realise looking for hte good things in your life is a positive and a help, dwelling on what is not so good does not have the same effect. Also looking after yourself is a great platform for helping others.
